About 40 million people speak Spanish at home in the US. Many who qualify for SNAP, Medicaid or housing aid never apply, not because they do not qualify, but because of the language barrier. AyudasYaUSA explains 25 federal programs in Spanish.
Hi Product Hunt,
I built AyudasYaUSA because of a gap that kept showing up in the data: around 40 million people speak Spanish at home in the US, and research from federal agencies themselves shows many eligible families never apply for SNAP, Medicaid or housing assistance. Not because they don't qualify, but because the paperwork and the terminology are in English.
The site covers 25 federal programs in Spanish. For each one: who qualifies, how much you can get, what documents you need, and how to apply, with 2026 figures and a direct link to the agency that runs it.
Two things I was strict about:
1. Every figure comes from a primary source. When an automated summary told me a family of four gets $975/month in SNAP, I pulled the actual USDA PDF and it said $994. Since then every number is read from the original document.
2. Every figure carries an expiry window, because most of them change once a year. A benefits site with last year's numbers is worse than no site at all.
It's not a government site and it says so on every page, in a box above the fold. Benefit-related phishing against immigrant communities is a real problem and I didn't want to add to the confusion.
Happy to answer anything. If you know someone who could use it, that's the best feedback I could get.
